This week was also busy with visitors, so we reviewed and read books.

We talked about trick or treating, pumpkins and much more.

You painted pumpkins with Halle Steiner.

 

You went to a fall festival at a local school with daddy.

 

You made spider cupcakes and cookies with mommy.

 

You went trick or treating with your friends and you didn't forget your "orange pumpkin" that you just had to have.

 

Songs and Books

During the October month, we go over the color orange and pumpkins. We sang this song to "wheels on the bus" except to the color orange.

 

After reviewing our pumpkin song, we began to talk about the letter F which included books about farm animals.

 

We also were talking about P for puzzles, and we did Number puzzles, farm puzzles and many other puzzles.

 

During the week of Letter P, we had visitors so we didn't get a lot done that week. We were reviewing the Letter P.

We really only got to sing about pumpkins. The week was jammed pack of so many fun things this was probably about the only time i was able to sit with the kids.

We reviewed our names, colors and a few letters.

She loves the letter K. We usually say Kora starts with K.

 

We use a name book and we match cousins pictures to their name.

 

We also work on where daddy works too!!

The Very Hungary Caterpillar

The first week of October was the week we celebrated reading! Across the nation in preschools, teachers were reading "The very Hungary caterpillar" SO,
we invited friends over
they brought food
lots and lots of food
and we ate
and we ate
just like the caterpillar
BUT we didn't get a tummy ache like the caterpillar

The children painted a picture of what they thought a caterpillar looks like

 

and painting some more.

 

The kids did great listening to me read and talk about food for about 15-20 minutes... GOOD JOB!

Muffin Tin Mondays

This weeks theme was "All About Me"

 

I gave Scarlett food that she mostly liked and a few things i wanted her to try and then we talked about it, and i typed out sentences and we matched it to the food.

Sentences say:
I like Cheese.
I do not like apple cider.
I like Mickey mouse.
I like M and M's.
I do not like Ants.
I like Dora.

 

We are also working on the letter A and T and discussing everything about Scarlett!

Books

For the Letter A this week, we talked about Animals.

One book that we checked out at the library was "At the Zoo" by EriC Carle
Sugar loved this book.

 

At the bottom of each page it reviewed all the animals on the animal train and she loved to say exactly how many and which animals were on the train. At the end of the book, they all get off and go to the zoo... too cute!

 

This book is an Usborne book that I actually used a few months ago with Sugar and she seemed to remember. She wanted ALL the pieces out on the floor. We lined up the animals and sand a little jingle with the numbers and animals.

 

 

Sharing and Caring

Since we made so many cupcakes and cookies, we decided to share them. We talked about how CARING it was to give to others.


We went on a playdate at the Ronks, so we shared with Grayson and Jackson.

 

We went to dance and they shared cupcakes with the class.

 

We shared cupcakes with Mr. Tom and Ms. Arlene

 

We shared cupcakes and cookies with Mr. Steve and Ms. Ruth, who wasn't feeling to good that day.

 

Cotton balls and clouds

It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles Shaw

 

Off of the book, we used COTTON BALLS TO COUNT and put into CONES.

 

Little Sugar picked a picture out of the book and began to design her own "cloud" with cotton balls.

 

She said she made a tree so i outlined it and it turned out pretty neat!

 

Activities

Daddy is usually more involved with gross motor skills such as:

taking Scarlett golfing and riding in a CART

 

taking her to see the CAGES

 

letting her CLIMB through the animal houses

 

and CLIMB some more

 

Cupcakes, cookies and more

For the letter C, our cooking experience was overloaded.

We made cupcakes and cookies all week, we even made another apple Crisp.

Not that we are advertising but yes, we used all pillsbury and crisco products to bake.

 

We mixed and we poured!

 

We counted out our cookies when we rolled them.

 

Since we were baking in the fall, we made Spider cupcakes to share with our friends!
